Some countries inspire a stronger desire to travel and escape than others. Thailand is one of those dream destinations. The four stages of the race will allow competitors to challenge each other in locations that are as beautiful as they are diverse, in the Chiang Mai region in the north of the country. Chiang Mai is the capital of the northern hill tribes. Located at the gateway to the “Golden Triangle,” it is renowned as one of the most beautiful cities in Thailand.
On February 14 and 15, participants will enjoy free days in Chiang Mai to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
